UNDERSTAND YOUR PHARMACY BENEFITS LOG IN OR REGISTER FOR YOUR SECURE ONLINE MEMBER ACCOUNT Your member account provides you with personalized information to better manage your health care coverage and make smart decisions about your health. Visit mytuftshealthplan.com to get started. LOOK UP YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS We cover thousands of different medications, but if your current prescription isn’t on our list, talk to your doctor about switching to a covered medication. Many medications we cover have a cost-share (copayment, deductible, or coinsurance) — the amount you’ll be responsible for paying, depending on your plan. The medications covered under your plan are organized in up to four tiers: • Tier 1 includes most generic medications and is the lowest cost to you • Tier 2 includes many generic and brand name medications • Tier 3 includes the most expensive generic and brand name medications • Tier 4 includes specialty medications and is the highest cost to you (applicable on some plans) SEE IF YOUR PRESCRIPTION HAS SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS If there is a “PA,” “STPA,” “QL” or “SP” after any of your prescriptions, talk to your provider. To see definitions for these requirements, please refer to the “Key Terms“ section. PLAN AHEAD IF YOU TAKE MAINTENANCE MEDICATION Maintenance medications are drugs taken regularly for ongoing conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. If you’re switching from another health insurance plan to Tufts Health Plan, make sure you have enough medication on hand to cover the transition period until your new coverage with Tufts Health Plan begins. Check to see that your medication is not going to expire soon, has refills, and is covered by Tufts Health Plan. If your medication is not covered, talk to your doctor about switching to an alternate maintenance medication that is covered - you may also request an exception review from Tufts Health Plan. SAVE MONEY WITH MAIL SERVICE On some plans, you may save money if you buy a 90-day supply of medication through mail service. Mail service provides the added convenience of home delivery instead of going to a retailer. 4 Back to Top

KEY TERMS PREMIUM The monthly payment you and your employer pay for your health insurance plan. COST SHARE Your out-of-pocket costs for services included in your health plan. These may include copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance. COPAYMENT A fixed dollar amount you pay for a covered pharmacy or medical service. The amount can vary by type of health care service. DEDUCTIBLE The amount you would owe during a coverage period (usually one year) for covered health care services before your plan begins to pay. COINSURANCE The percentage of costs you pay for certain covered services. As an example, if your plan has 20% coinsurance, Tufts Health Plan will pay 80% of the cost, and you’ll be responsible for paying 20% of the cost. OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM The maximum yearly amount you must pay for your share of covered medical, pharmacy, vision, and behavioral health services. After you spend this amount, Tufts Health Plan will pay 100% of remaining costs for covered services. IN-NETWORK A group of doctors, hospitals and other care providers that have contracted with your health plan to deliver care to you. Some health plans require the use of in-network providers only. OUT-OF-NETWORK Health care providers who are not in the group of in-network doctors described above. Out-of-network providers do not have contracts with your health plan and may have higher out-of-pocket costs. 8 Back to Top
PA: PRIOR AUTHORIZATION Definition: Prior authorization is the need for your provider to tell us why it is medically necessary for you to receive a covered medication or service. We consult with your doctor(s) to provide you with better health outcomes, cost savings and assure your safety. Contact the doctor who recommended the medication or service. If the doctor believes the medication or service that requires PA is necessary for your treatment, they may submit a request for coverage to Tufts Health Plan. We’ll cover the medication or service if it meets our medical necessity coverage guidelines. ST PA: STEP THERAPY PRIOR AUTHORIZATION Definition: Step Therapy Prior Authorization is an automated form of prior authorization that encourages clinically proven use of first-line therapies so that the most therapeutically appropriate and cost-effective drugs are used first, before other drugs may be covered. Some types of step therapy include requiring the use of generics before brand name drugs or preferred drugs before non-preferred brand name drugs. Check our step therapy drug list to find out which step your drug is on. If you haven’t previously taken the steps we require, and your doctor believes the drug prescribed for you is necessary, your doctor may request authorization. You can check the list by visiting tuftshealthplan.com/member-rx. Click on the “View Formularies” button in the “Look Up Your Medication” box, select the drug list (formulary) for your plan and click the link to “Step Therapy Prior Authorization.” QL: QUANTITY LIMITATION Definition: The quantity limit for a medication that can be purchased at any one time. A common QL is a 30-day supply, which is the maximum number of units needed for 30 days based on the prescribed daily/weekly dose. You’re covered for up to the quantity posted in our covered drug list. If your doctor believes you need to take more than that quantity, the doctor may submit a request for authorization. SP: DESIGNATED SPECIALTY PHARMACY Definition: A pharmacy management program that requires members to purchase selected medications from specific sources. Once your membership is effective, log in to mytuftshealthplan.com and click on “My Coverage,” then “Pharmacy.” Call the designated specialty pharmacy provider indicated, or contact our Member Services department to help you receive your medication without interruption. NC: NON-COVERED Definition: Medications that are not currently covered by us. If your provider feels you require this medication, your provider should contact us. They may submit a request for coverage to Tufts Health Plan. We will cover the medication if it meets our coverage guidelines. If the request is approved, you will be covered for your prescription. NTM: NEW-TO-MARKET DRUG EVALUATION In an effort to ensure the new-to-market prescriptions that we cover are safe, effective and affordable, we delay coverage of many new drugs until a physician specialist reviews them. If your doctor feels you need a new medication, they can contact us to request coverage. 9 Back to Top
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS IS MY DOCTOR IN YOUR NETWORK? Chances are good that your doctor is in our network. Tufts Health Plan has more than 57,000 health care professionals and more than 100 hospitals across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire within our network, and extends into parts of Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, and New York. Visit tuftshealthplan.com/find-a-doctor or log into your secure online account at mytuftshealthplan.com for a complete list of providers. WHAT IS A REFERRAL AND WHEN DO I NEED ONE? Certain health care plans require you to get a referral from your PCP giving you permission to see a specialist for care. If your plan requires a referral, make sure that you have the referral before you see a specialist, or you will be responsible for costs from the appointment. DO I NEED TO GET NEW REFERRALS WHEN CHANGING PLANS? Any referral you had with your previous insurance plan will not carry over. If your plan requires a referral, you’ll need to get a new referral from your PCP. WHAT IS PRIOR AUTHORIZATION AND HOW DO I GET IT? Prior authorization means your health plan must approve a certain medication or service before you receive it. Your in-network doctor is responsible for obtaining a prior authorization from us on your behalf. If your plan offers out-of-network benefits and you go to an out-of-network doctor, then you are responsible for making sure the doctor obtains a prior authorization. WHERE DO I SEE OR ACCESS MY PLAN BENEFIT DOCUMENTS? All of your plan information is easily accessible through your secure online account at mytuftshealthplan.com. HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO A DOCTOR WHEN I’M TRAVELING? If you have an urgent or emergency medical condition, seek care immediately at the nearest medical facility. Members have access to urgent or emergency care from any provider regardless of network at an in-network cost share. You can also use our Telehealth (provided by Teladoc©) services for non-urgent health care needs 24/7. 10 Back to Top
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GENERIC AND A BRAND NAME? Brand name medications are typically the first product to gain Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Generic versions have the same active ingredients, come in the same strength and dosage, and are also reviewed and approved by the FDA. You can expect a generic version to produce the same effects as the brand name medication. The FDA works closely with all pharmaceutical companies to make sure that all brands and generics sold in the U.S. meet appropriate standards for strength, quality, and purity. I HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FOR A MEDICATION THAT REQUIRES PRIOR AUTHORIZATION. WHY DO I NEED PRIOR AUTHORIZATION? Prior authorization helps us manage the rising cost of prescription medications to make pharmacy benefits more affordable for you. It also helps us make sure you have the most recent and successfully proven medical science applied to your treatments. If your doctor feels it is necessary for you to take a specific medication, they should submit a request to Tufts Health Plan. ARE THERE ANY MEDICATIONS THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY MY PHARMACY BENEFIT? Yes, there are some prescription medications that are not covered when there is medical evidence that proves other less costly and clinically appropriate alternatives are available. The Tufts Health Plan Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee reviews new medications (available and covered by Tufts Health Plan) for safety, cost-effectiveness, and appropriateness to determine if it will be added to the list of non-covered medications. If your doctor believes that you have a medical reason for treatment with a non-covered medication, they may submit a request for coverage. WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF MY PRESCRIPTION IS EXCLUDED FROM YOUR LIST? Tufts Health Plan may exclude from coverage prescription medications once they become available over-the-counter (OTC). OTC drugs can be obtained without a prescription and are not eligible for coverage by the plan. The complete list of medications excluded from coverage along with their OTC alternatives can be found at tuftshealthplan.com/non-covered-drugs. 11 Back to Top
